With fairy-tale scenery of towering limestone cliffs and over 100 islands jutting skyward, Khao Sok Lake Cheow Lan is one of the most striking places on earth.

Start the day with a drive from Khao Sok to a colorful local market.  Then cruise the lake in a traditional longtail boat. Swim in emerald green water. Choose between kayaking, hiking with a guide, or hanging at the raft houses to relax and swim.

For those looking for unique animal watching opportunities, you can see gibbons and hornbills with greater ease than anywhere else in Thailand.
